Making nails happy, one polish at a time.

Indie Expo Canada 2017

Tomorrow marks the sesquicentennial anniversary of Canadian Confederation. Essentially my beloved home and native land is turning 150 years old!!!! This is a HUGE deal here across Canada and in particular here in the capital city of Ottawa. For almost a year the country has been preparing to celebrate this special event. I thought I’d commemorate the event with some fun Canada Day nails!

Hey all! Jenny here with something new and exciting today! I was truly blessed to be able to attend the inaugural Indie Expo Canada event at the Hyatt Regency in Toronto, Ontario, Canada as official press! The event took place over a two-day period June 3rd and 4th 2017 and focused on amazing indie nail, beauty, and hair/body products!

Hi everyone!!! Indie Expo Canada 2017 is less than 3 days away and what better way to celebrate than with some swatches of the Girly Bits Exclusive and Limited Edition polishes?? Let’s get right into it!!!

The Red Rocket – Indie Expo Exclusive

First we have the exclusive Indie Expo polish. This is The Red Rocket, a beautiful metallic red with an orange to pink shift. This is two coats plus top coat:

It was inspired by the historic Toronto streetcars:

This is one of those polishes that truly glows from within! This polish may be available on the official Indie Expo Canada 2017 site after the event.

Come on, you knew I was going to art over it 🙂

Lost in the PATH – Indie Expo Limited Edition

Lost in the PATH is one of two LE shades. It’s a deep washed-out blurple with a strong gold shimmer and silver holo flakies. This is 2 coats plus top coat:

Lost in the PATH is loosely inspired by the underground shopping walkway in Toronto. If you’re not familiar with the PATH….well trust me when I say this polish is aptly named!

Yeah the picture above pretty much sums that up!!!

And stamped with some super Canadian maple leafs!!!

Sugar Beach – Indie Expo Limited Edition

The second Limited Edition polish is Sugar Beach. Sugar Beach is a sparkling holographic with a strong pink to gold shimmer, pink microglitter, and pink-purple-blue UCC flakes. 2 coats plus top coat:

This polish is super unique. There is a lot going on but it’s not overwhelming or too busy. It’s a perfectly done polish in my opinion! And when you see the inspiration picture you’ll probably like it even more:

First of all, I want to be there. Second of all, Sugar Beach is an urban beach park. You read that right!

And make sure to follow me on Instagram @thedotcouture or add me on my brand spanking new Snapchat (thedotcouture) because as you probably gathered from that graphic up there, I’m crazy lucky to have been invited as official press! I will be covering the event real time (or as real time as I can!) on my social media outlets so if you can’t attend this is the next best thing!! If you are attending come up and say hi to me! I look forward to chatting with everyone, meeting other bloggers, interviewing makers, and oogling all the gorgeous products that will be there!!!

Hello my fellow nail polish addicts!!! Today I have some exciting news, in particular for us Canadians (or my American readers near the US / Can border), and especially for us Ontarians!!!

Oh so many times I get asked who makes those beautiful polishes I use in my manis. And more importantly, “where can I get them??” Now just imagine you could not only oogle all these lovelies in one place, but you could talk to the makers behind these amazing polishes? And even better, BUY SOME FOR YOURSELF??? You’d probably say something like “Where Jenny? Where is this fantastical place?”

Pam, the lovely creator behind Girly Bits Cosmetics has organized an incredible Indie event which is taking place June 3rd and 4th at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

There will be workshops and tutorial tables, and you will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with industry YouTubers, Bloggers, and of course the makers themselves!

Tickets start at $24.07 (all fees and taxes included) and are available at eventbrite.ca. This will give you access to a TON (and I mean TON!) of Indie vendors (from all over the world!) Not just nail polish either. There will be cosmetics, skin care, hair care, all kinds of amazing brands showcasing their products!!!

So come on over and check it out….I will be there and I’d love to meet and hang with my fellow nail addicts!

WOOHOO! I’m all official and stuff! I will be there covering the event and I think it’s going to be an amazing experience for us all!!!!
